Overview
- Cody Rhodes, who plays Guile, revealed and demonstrated the wearable Guile flat-top popcorn bucket in a social post on Thursday, showing a strap that lets fans put the tub on their heads.
- AMC has confirmed the bucket will be an exclusive tie-in for Street Fighter but had not published a price, capacity, or exact on-sale date at the time of Rhodes’s reveal.
- The film opens in theaters on October 16 and ticket presales are scheduled to begin in late September, which reports say is when merch availability and reservation options are likely to be clarified.
- Coverage and fan reaction treat the design as a deliberate viral marketing move that turns a recognizable character feature into a shareable prop while raising practical concerns about mess, distraction and resale demand.
- The Guile bucket joins a string of recent viral concession collectibles, a trend that accelerated after Dune: Part Two’s sandworm tin in 2024 and has become a standard marketing tool for tentpole releases.
